Motivations for O6E71 unit
The finite element method is now widely used in all industrial sectors concerned with mechanical problems. Its application plays an important role in early design projects of complex mechanical systems. For any engineer involved in projects using finite element modeling, it is essential to acquire basic knowledge: fundamentals of the method, formulation of a basic finite elements, difficulties linked to use in an industrial context. The use of Commercial software is also an important step in learning the finite element method.
Objectives
Understanding the foundations of the finite element method.
Mastering the formulation of standard finite elements: rod, beam, plate, shell, solid.
Developing a critical analysis on a finite element model and on the obtained results.
Be aware of the difficulties associated with the use of numerical models for industrial problems.
Mastering ANSYS finite element software for the simulation of industrial problems.
Expected results
know the foundations of the finite element method and the formulation of some standard elements
be able to develop a critical analysis on a finite element model and on the obtained results
be able to deal with an academic or industrial problem using a commercial finite element software, in linear static and normal modes analyses.
